I think all the chices are correct to some extent, but the question is asking about what is the best advice. So choice (E) says use ONLY protective clothes, which I think is not accurate because we should combine all the 3 protective measures which are:

1- Avoid sun exposure especially midday
2- Protective clothing
3- Sun screen with SPF 15 or greater


So from those answers, b, c and e are correct. What is the answer ?

Here are some more recommendations. This is a good material for fancy questions that sometimes appear in the exam !! Enjoy ........ )

The tropical weather increases the risk of heat stroke in an infant less than 3mths. Mother should think of another destination for her vacation.

[ArchivalUser]

well another destination is not an option

He was joking )

You know, questions like this one don't reflect real practice, because obviously when a mother asks you, you will tell her all the advices needed like I mentioned above. You are not expected to meet a mother who will say "please doctor, tell me one advice only, I cannot handle more than one !!"

well i am sorry to tell you guys that the correct answer is C. you have to tell the mother what is risking and what the baby might get from being in the sun
